Comparison of aerosol optical thickness with in situ visibility data over Cyprus

The monitoring of aerosol concentrations comprises a high environmental priority, particularly in urban areas. Remote sensing of atmospheric aerosol optical thickness (AOT) could be used to assess particulate matter levels at the ground. However, such measurements often need further validation. In t...
